1G Grinding noise

[Ahmed]

I'm started hearing a sort of grinding noise coming from the engine bay, it happens with the clutch engaged or disengaged. Could it possibly be a tranny input shaft bearing? If not, what is it?

Possibly the throw out bearing

Would the throw out bearing still make the noise with the clutch out and the car in neutral?

That's more than I would know. We will have to see what others say. Is it hard or getting hard to shift gears, kicking out of gear on its own?

It isn't hard, but 2nd gear grinds slightly, I think the clutch slave cylinder is going out, and the water pump is leaking if that helps

if you have a 420a motor then it could be ur throw out bearing. there are two little plastic tabs that hold the bearing to the fork and if those tabs break then bearing will sometimes grind on the clutch as it isn't being pulled away from it

From personal experience I've only heard TOBs make a grinding noise either when clutch pedal is all the way up or down, but never in both cases.
